356 S.E.2d 61 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1987
Plaintiff Blankenship tendered a check in the amount of $52.45
“OCGA § 16-9-20 (h) provides in relevant part: ‘Any party holding a worthless check or instrument and giving notice in substantially similar form to that provided in subparagraph (a) (2) (B) of this Code section shall be immune from civil liability for the giving of such notice and for proceeding as required under the forms of such notice . . .’ ” Wilson v. Home Depot, 180 Ga. App. 218, 219 (348 SE2d 588). In the case sub judice, it is not disputed that Home Depot sent plaintiff timely written notice substantially in the form provided in OCGA § 16-9-20 (a) (2) (B) and that plaintiff did not comply with that notice either as to time or amount. Consequently, Home Depot is immune from civil liability for proceeding against plaintiff for violating OCGA § 16-9-20.
Judgment affirmed.
